That's a pretty one, Maypop. I have a couple of different kinds. One of them looks similar to yours. The leaves are a lighter green, tho.
What's In Your Garden?
Bromeliads are neat! As space allows I grow a couple of very small Tillandsias.
On a different note - I had potted up a few containers with different Succulents, they are populating the front of the house. Thought you might get a kick out of this one with his hairdo. (probably some sort of sedum)
Isn't that a lovely profile?
I hope to have hair like that when I turn gray!!!
My hair looks like that in this Southern heat and humidity. Completely different in January. Thank goodness my face doesn't look like that.

I used to date a girl who looked a lot like that. :>)
Jim
Oh dear!
Maybe she had a great personality? New a lot about gardening? Could cook?
Hot here but the garden is showing off.
.
Hosta and daylilies.
Other direction.
Definitely daylily peak.
Nice design on a hollyhock.
Hippeastrum Gilmar surprised me!
More dls.
One more.
Your garden is just beautiful Kathy. Congratulations.
Jim
Very different from yours but I'm very happy you approve, Jim!!
The hollyhock photo looked fantastic enlarged. I just love them. They can be grown up in the mountains, but I've never seen them in the city. They're fussy and prone to mildew here. I've seen them positioned just like yours, against a barn wall on an east exposure.
Laurel
East and all! And there's lots of bees when you're stuck in them taking pics!!!
Musta flew out when I wasn't looking!
Well, another chance for me to say the whole place looks like a fantasy. I love the last DLs with the purple and yellow. We have hundreds of lilies lining our roads but they're all the "ditch" lily kind.

Inspired by Kathy, I grabbed the camera and took a walk around the yard. Here is a rose-of-Sharon.
Jim
This is my bottle palm. It is really a zone 10 plant but I love them so I planted it in half a whiskey barrel and put wheels on the bottom. Now, if we get a cold night, I just push it into the garage.
Jim
My oak-leaf ixora is blooming nicely.
Jim
This is a hybrid Kordesii rose called Dortmund.
Jim
I couldn't resist a picture of this crape myrtle.
Jim
This silly plant is called mule's ear kalanchoe. It will grow a new plant wherever a leaf tip touches the ground. It froze back in January but is coming on again.
Jim
Cherries jubilee allamanda.
Jim
Jim, I must photo my Rose of Sharon. Pink with magenta centers. There will be hundreds of blooms.
This thread is needing to speed up. Can someone who knows computer-speak move us up a notch? Thanks,
Laurel
Yellow bells, aka yellow elder
Jim
Laurel, perhaps you should link to a new thread. My computer is new so I have no problem but surely older computers are suffering.
Here is a begonia.
Jim
These are red-stemmed gingers. I really think they are cool.
Jim
I still have gardenias in bloom. The smell is unbelievable.
Jim
And lastly, Agapanthus ("Lily of the Nile").
Jim
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Kathy and Jim! Thank you so much for a beautiful tour!!! Breathtaking!!
